Castillo De Amber, Quepos, Costa Rica
The house was nice and having a chef for a couple of the days was excellent. The heavy dependence on cash was a logistical challenge and the tour of the rain forest was at the same time interesting and disappointing. Overall, my experiences at VRBO properties in Belize and St. George Island were superior. It is unlikely I will return to Costa Rica.
Great Place near Manuel Antonio
My family enjoyed our week in Manuel Antonio and Castillo de Amber was a perfect place to stay. The location was convenient. We drove to the park and other sites, but we could easily walk to get groceries, coffee, or dinner. We used the upper level. It was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Vanessa was super helpful and went out of her way to make out stay wonderful. The view is great and nearly everyday we would see interesting wildlife right out the window.
Great stay at Castillo de Amber!
We visited Manuel Antonio for a guys' fishing trip with 9 people. Castillo de Amber proved to be the perfect accommodations for us and I'd highly recommend it.
The house was great. Views from every floor. The rooms were tidy and clean when we arrived. We loved having maid service every day.
The website descriptions were very accurate, and as you can tell from the descriptions, there are 4 different units that are all joined together very well. For our group (9 single guys) it worked great, because everyone had their own living area, but the main floor dining room worked fine as a common area for breakfast and dinner.
The swimming pool was great, and we made good use of it every day after fishing. It was very clean, despite the lush foliage that overhangs the patio.
The property includes 4 levels with a lot of stairs, so it certainly could be a challenge for groups with elderly or disabled guests. However, the street level unit is the largest and includes the biggest kitchen, so a disabled or elderly guest could stay on that level.
One of the highlights of Castillo de Amber was Vanessa, the concierge. It was such a luxury to have a personal concierge, and Vanessa was very prompt, professional and personable. She did grocery shopping, made restaurant recommendations, arranged for a taxi van, and helped us with a small issue with had with the A/C in one of the rooms. She also arranged for a private chef, which was amazing...the chef prepared breakfast each morning, and a steak dinner one night.
The location for Castillo de Amber is great. It is located a short (3 min) walk to the main road in Manuel Antonio, and we walked to dinner every night. There is also a sports bar / casino that the guys enjoyed. The casino isn't much, but we played a few hands of low stakes blackjack. From Castillo de Amber, we took a 5-10 minute taxi ride to the marina, and when we went to the beach we actually took the local bus which great.
I highly recommend this house, and especially Vanessa and ManuelAntonioRentalProperties.com!
Just stunning
We loved Castillo de Amber, it was like home. We spent 14 days with friends in a Juate Suite and had a wonderful time. Rooms were extremely clean ( 2 bedrooms , living room and kitchen)with air conditioner, with a huge veranda. We loved all the rooms and a great views from this property. Every morning having breakfast you can see this incredible views of the ocean and Manual Antonio park . Nature is everywhere here. From the beautiful tropical birds to monkeys. During our time there were several sunning themselves around the pool. Good location , walking distance to restaurants and stores. Castillo de Amber is a great place to stay and the experience was very positive.
Come and enjoy!
Great Place for Families
I had the pleasure of staying at Castillo de Amber this September, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The different apartments worked well for my family--the 'kids' (23 & 26) stayed in their own apartment, and my sister stayed in the 1-bedroom.
I also really enjoyed being centrally located--the kids would walk to the bus stop, or bars, and we could walk to the restaurants.
Definitely recommended!

Perfect fit.
Castillo de Amber is one of those places that works perfectly for certain groups--namely, those that want separate, lockable, independent spaces for different parts of the family. Each apartment has a kitchen, which is nice because it allowed us the freedom to either cook and dine together, or separately, as happened on a couple of occasions. Mostly, we got together in the pool area, where there is a fridge, sink and barbecue grill (and a stereo, I might add). It was an easy walk to our favorite restaurants--Agua Azul, Byblos, Cafe Milagro, etc. You can get a bus to the beach for under $1, and it takes just 5 minutes.
I would recommend this place for groups of friends of large families who want to be central, and have independent spaces.
